A Polymerduniya source in Europe reports that a UK-based producer has quietly placed an offer for recycled high-density polyethylene (R-HDPE) tailored for blow moulding applications. The material is a mixed-color grade with a melt flow index (MFI) of 0.95, offered in 20-tonne lots at GBP 715 per metric tonne on an Ex Works basis, with a scheduled delivery in September 2025.
This offer arrives as Europe’s R-HDPE market remains sensitive to downstream demand trends, particularly in packaging and construction sectors, where user confidence and macroeconomic headwinds continue to exert downward pressure on pricing. That makes this forward-looking offer particularly of interest for buyers preparing for Q4 procurement rounds.
The mixed-color R-HDPE grade is commonly sought after in blow-moulded applications where cost optimization is key, such as in industrial containers or multi-purpose packaging. Given its MFI of 0.95, this material would suit a range of molding operations that balance rigidity and processability.
With this September offer now on the table, converters and traders may be positioning early, signaling potential shifts in seasonal demand or inventory strategies. As the European market braces for cooler seasonal demand, such offers could offer a strategic advantage to buyers securing materials ahead of broader upticks.
